Chapter 4 Honors (Three Parts)

Liu Guoliang was willing to take on this task. It was not the first two years ago. We must consider whether the route is correct or not. At present, from the northern Shaanxi border area to major bases, production and self-rescue has become the second most important thing after the war against Japan. The superiors also repeatedly emphasized in their instructions that each military sub-district must have a sufficient leader to grasp production, and must achieve results in a short period of time.

There are two main reasons for the changes in the guiding ideology of the Eighth Route Army. First, the reality is that the anti-Japanese base areas behind enemy lines are expanding and the number of people is increasing. Second, the external environment is increasingly difficult.

It was not the 1937th year. At that time, the national war of resistance had just begun. Even in order to show the people, the central government had to symbolically allocate some ammunition and military pay to the Eighth Route Army. Since the summer of 1938, the argument that the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army had taken the opportunity to secretly make big moves has regained the upper hand within the National Government. The military pay to the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could be delayed. Every time they delayed, they could find enough excuses, and even the tricks were not repeated. By this spring, as Lieutenant General He Guiyan, Director of the Military Commission, was "kicked" to the Soviet Union for full-time contact with China aid affairs, the food, salary and supplies for the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army were completely stopped. Every time the people in the Chongqing Office went to the Military Commission to ask for it, they would either be turned away or be treated with good tea and water, and then notified to come again next time.

The food and salary were cut off by the Military Commission, but the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army had to continue to fight against the War of Resistance. The country was staring at 400 million eyes. Who was bleeding for the country and who was a coward? The people were as clear as a mirror. Moreover, the current location of the Eighth Route Army and the New Fourth Army could not turn around and turn in like other warlords. They were not only far away from Chongqing, but also from Yan'an. The major bases were all piled up by the common people with a handful of rice and a piece of wood. If the Eighth Route Army also turned around and ran away like other cowards, the common people would suffer. The traitors under the Japanese command did not have the courage to fight with the Eighth Route Army and bully the people with their power, but one was the three, especially for the people who had supported the anti-Japanese war team. The more the traitors saw their dirty things from the other side's tall figure, the more they wanted to kill them.

How to continue to persist in the absence of food and food supply? There are only eight words: "Simplify the team and rely on it." In order to save daily consumption, the headquarters of the Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region has adapted all the cavalry regiments that have been built with great effort into infantry. Except for a very small number of precious war horses that were equipped with leaders and communication units, the rest are either given to fellow villagers for large animals to pull carts or slaughtered collectively. When the cavalry witnessed the war horses that were common in daily life and death, they were led to the slaughterhouse, and the grief in their hearts can be imagined. (Note 1)

As a third-level military sub-district that had just been established, the Chabei Military Sub-district originally had few people, so there was no need to streamline the team for the time being, but the matter of self-reliance was not careless at all. This involves whether the military sub-district can survive independently without the blood transfusion from the superior department in the future, and whether the newly opened bases can gain a foothold and whether they can still grow and grow step by step when external situations change. Not only will the direct agencies of the military sub-district headquarters try to find ways to be self-sufficient, and the subordinate local armed forces must also do their best to raise and replenish their own supplies according to their surrounding environment.

Chahar is generally vast and sparsely populated. It is impossible to develop agriculture within the base areas like Jizhong and southern Hebei. The only practical solution is to produce some initial industrial products that are easy to trade and circulation based on the differences in natural resources inside and outside the mouth and outside the mouth. The micro-local workshops established by the Blackstone Guerrillas are undoubtedly the best imitation targets for the brother units in the military sub-district. Although the production capacity of a single workshop is not high and the material waste is serious, it is because it is simple and convenient and easy to "breed" on a large scale. As long as there is enough raw materials and manpower, it can be copied one by one, one by one to bloom everywhere. One day the Japanese hit the doorstep, they will pack up and move them on donkey carts, and then fall into another place and then they can be put into production again.

Thinking of using the Black Stone Guerrillas that had already explored mature production technology to improve the self-hematopoiesis ability of the entire Chabei Military Sub-district to a higher level, Liu Guoliang felt hot in his heart. Without waiting for Su to wake up and make more mobilization, he said loudly: "Even if you don't talk about this today, I'm going to take the initiative to mention it to you. The workshops run by Wang Huzi and the others are considered to be ahead of the entire Military Sub-district. Even if you look at the entire Jin-Cha-Hebei Military Region, it is very typical. So I plan to send more people to learn from the scriptures in batches, and at the same time provide them with some technical and personnel support."

"Yeah." Su Xing nodded with satisfaction. Although his old partner Liu Guoliang sometimes had too tight political strings and when doing things, he had a straightforward and neat spirit and could share a lot of load for him, the commander. "Not only in that workshop, but also in other aspects, he also had to make more policy inclinations. Last time I remember Wang Huzi's report that they seized a Japanese devil's car and wanted to remove the engine as a generator to provide power to the radio station. Do you have anyone at hand who knows how to transform it?"

"It should be no technical difficulty. I have someone who ran back from Nanyang to support the War of Resistance. I used to work as a technician in the auto repair shop run by the Dutch." Liu Guoliang thought for a while and responded in a deep thought, "But"

"What's wrong? He doesn't want to go to the grassroots level." Hearing the hesitation in Liu Guoliang's words, Commander Su Xing frowned and asked, "Do you do your job for him? A learned person will inevitably have a little temper. I told him that he would just go there for a few months and solve the problem in Heishi Village and you can come back immediately."

"That's not." Liu Guoliang grinned and shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What do you think of this person? This person is a Christian, very pious. He has to worship every week and has a sterling silver cross on his chest."

"You are talking about Xiao Tang." A pale and gentle figure flashed quickly in front of the commander Su Xing's eyes. He was stunned and asked with a wry smile.

"If it were a Christian, it would probably be Xiao Tang, the one who nicknamed Tang." Although deputy commander Zhang Jiyun had little contact with technicians, he was also very impressed by this person.

There is no way, among a group of atheists who believe in communism, a Christian who is as pious as a practitioner is really eye-catching. Not only are the main leaders of the Chabei Military Sub-district remembering him, but there are only a handful of people who do not know "Worship Tang" in the entire military sub-district.

After the outbreak of the July 7 Incident, this person was commissioned by overseas Chinese in Southeast Asia to take a batch of transport vehicles back to China. The original plan was to return by ship after delivering and unloading the goods at Guangzhou Port. Unexpectedly, two old trucks donated by overseas Chinese fell into their nests before they could drive out of the dock. As a technician, after he repaired the car, he followed the vehicle all the way to Wuhan because he was worried. Then, in view of the lack of technicians in the National Government, he volunteered to go to the German tank battalion of the 27th Army to provide maintenance tanks with the convoy.

In May last year, the Japanese invaded eastern Henan. The 27th Army guarding Lanfeng and the 8th Army guarding Shangqiu fled without fighting. The advanced German tanks were thrown to the Japanese devils without firing a few shots. As a tank maintenance engineer, Tang was also thrown to the Japanese pursuers. Fortunately, he had a cross hanging on his chest and could speak fluent Dutch, so he escaped as a missionary. After experiencing many hardships, he entered the Jin-Cha-Hebei region and was hired by the Eighth Route Army and became an expert in automobiles and electrical technology.

However, he, as an expert, is indeed very different from those master's and doctoral students who have returned from overseas studies in the Jizhong Arsenal. Compared with those domestic scholars who graduated from Peking University, he lacks theoretical level. In addition, he is not good at the weapon manufacturing field that is urgently needed by the Hezhong Military Sub-district, so he was treated as a telecommunications engineer and was dispatched to the newly opened Chabei Military Sub-district Office to guide the daily maintenance and repair of high-power radio stations.

Due to the influence of many aspects such as personal belief, living habits, temperament and temperament, telecommunications expert "Wedding" did not live a very happy life at the headquarters of the Chabei Military Sub-district, which was in short supply. Although technical cadres admired his hands-on ability, the main leaders of the military sub-district also repeatedly emphasized that Communist Party members should respect the personal freedom of belief of non-partisans. But every day, watching a guy who hangs God by his mouth sway in front of his eyes, the staff of the military sub-district agency still instinctively felt a sense of rejection. Unless they had to ask about technical issues, they usually stayed away from this person.

Such an unsociable alternative, no wonder Liu Guoliang, the head of the security section, was hesitant to send him to the Black Stone Guerrillas. There were both Green Forest Heroes like Zhao Tianlong, Kuomintang lieutenant colonels like Zhang Songling, and a Belarus International Camp that dared not see the light. The situation was already complicated enough, and then he stuffed an extremely devout Christian over, so that the captain Wang Huzi would not be worried.

"It's okay, one sheep is driven, two sheep are released." Su Xing's thinking is very jumping. In a very short period of time, he changed to another angle, waved his hand, and made a decision confidently, "Since it's not Comrade Xiao Tang, or engineer Xiao Tang, he doesn't want to go to the grassroots level, just send him over. I believe that Wang Huzi can be capable. He can even get under his command of Yunlong. He will never become busy just because one Christian suddenly appears in the team."
